The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Warning to Mfserge - TransOcean discussion to follow

After lots of debating and lots of staring at pics (and waiting to see what my bonus would be this year), I said the hell with it this morning (even though I still don't know what my bonus will be this year), strolled across the street to my AD and put in an order for a TransOcean LE. Mercury silver, brown croc on deployant. All contigent upon loving it in the metal once it comes in. Although something tells me I won't be disappointed.

They're expecting it in around Feb 15. It struck me as ironic that I'll be going to the jewelry store to pick up my new Breitling on my wife's birthday. I'm starting to think that it will be wise to have something else in the bag when I get home besides my new watch.

Congrats, I'm sure the wait won't be that bad.

Congratulations kstone. I'm envious as I want one as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing the pics.

Congrats - I really hope that this design cue continues, after some of the bizarre pieces this really does seem like a true 'classic'. Hope the wait isn't too long.

Thank you gentlemen. And come on Elwyn, there's safety in numbers!

Roff, I agree - there is a timeless/classic look to this piece that really appealed to me. I thought about waiting to see what came out of Basel, but my gut tells me that I will be disappointed with the new (or more likely, not so new ) offerings.

Maybe you could offer up that new Breitling cap to your wife

Congrats, interesting to see the silver dial in real pics.

can't wait to see a wrist shot of that one. Make sure to post asap!

I sure as hell better be getting something better than another hat!

I actually complained (in a good-humored way) to my AD a couple of weeks ago when I first went in to talk about the TransOcean that I've bought 3 Breitlings and I've received 3 hats. He called me back the next day asking for the serial #'s on the three that I've purchased, said he called his Breitling rep, and that I would be getting a goodie package in the mail. Still waiting.....

I'm just - not - quite - there yet. I'm scared of the B01 boogeyman. I think I'll wait around and see how it goes with yours and if A-OK then it's my turn.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I've gotten two hats and a pocket knife. The transocean should be worth something more! Good luck.

I certainly know how you feel about the B01 boogeyman. If Stefan has another problem in the next 2 weeks with his Navi 01, I'll be cancelling the order pronto!

In the meantime, I'll be staring at this :

FINALLY!!!! A chance to see some live pics. Congrats on being the first member of the Transocean club.....Don't tell Serg but I think before it is all said and done the TO will have a pretty good sized following amongst the Breitling faithful

Great combo!! Although, I think I learned my lesson and will wait to see a watch in the flesh before I purchase.
